    Basically i wondered if there was any tools or software out there that can let you know any domains that come up for grabs if the owner forgets to renew i own a certain .co.uk but not the .com and it comes up for renewal this year and the owner has not done anything with it so i am hoping they will forget about it

    Thanks for any help

    Is there an extra cost for doing this

    I know some people use some certain software out there that will automatically tell them when a domain comes up for sale whether they have pacifically had it built for themselves or its an open thing i don't know

    Hello,

    We have found that if the domain is a quality domain (ie easy to spell/remember) then there are probably lots of registrars being employed to grab these as soon as they become available.

    It is usually better to back order them using a registrar.
    Reason: They will buy them literally as soon as they become available.
    As they are a registrar, they don't have to go through the checkout process - as they bypass it.

    We were watching one that expired at midnight on a certain date and kept on hitting refresh. As soon as it hit midnight, another registrar scooped it up immediately (within a split second) - we had no chance!

    It really depends how much you want this domain.
    We haven't used any registrars to do this in the past - so cannot vouch for any. When looking at terms, if the registrar fails to secure your domain then they normally credit your account which can be spent next time.
    I haven't come across a registrar that will refund you the money.

    It would be interesting if anyone that can recommend any registrars on this forum that will refund you the money if they fail.
